Jaguars easing into regular season prep mode this week

The Jaguars will simulate a regular season game week over the next four days before playing Friday at Detroit.

*Practice times today and Tuesday have been moved to early afternoon, like they will on Wednesday and Thursday of game weeks, and the final workout this week (Wednesday) will be mid-morning, like it will be for a game-week Friday.

*Little work in pads – the Jaguars didn’t have pads on Sunday but will today before tapering back.

*Structured meeting times pre- and post-practice to mimic the upcoming schedule.

“We introduced it [Sunday] and gave them an idea of how the week is going to play out … so they can get an idea of what a regular season week is like,” coach Gus Bradley said.

That goes for the game planning as well. Bradley said the Jaguars introduced 10 plays of Detroit in Sunday’s practice and that will continue this week.

On Sunday, Bradley called the workout, a “bonus Monday so we took advantage of it. We had a couple periods where we really worked hard on tempo. I think it was good work coming off a player’s day off to get back in that mindset.”
